    ipv4: remove warning in ip_recv_error · 730c54d5
    Willem de Bruijn authored
    A precondition check in ip_recv_error triggered on an otherwise benign
    race. Remove the warning.
    
    The warning triggers when passing an ipv6 socket to this ipv4 error
    handling function. RaceFuzzer was able to trigger it due to a race
    in setsockopt IPV6_ADDRFORM.

          sk->sk_socket->ops = &inet_dgram_ops;

        sk->sk_prot->recvmsg
          udp_recvmsg
            ip_recv_error
              WARN_ON_ONCE(sk->sk_family == AF_INET6);

          sk->sk_family = PF_INET;
    
    This socket option converts a v6 socket that is connected to a v4 peer
    to an v4 socket. It updates the socket on the fly, changing fields in
    sk as well as other structs. This is inherently non-atomic. It races
    with the lockless udp_recvmsg path.
    
    No other code makes an assumption that these fields are updated
    atomically. It is benign here, too, as ip_recv_error cares only about
    the protocol of the skbs enqueued on the error queue, for which
    sk_family is not a precise predictor (thanks to another isue with
    IPV6_ADDRFORM).
